CELEBRATING THE WINS.

Making great boutique wines that we’re proud of and that our customers enjoy is our passion.
However, it’s nice to be recognised by the industry greats, too.

We’re particularly proud to have received James Halliday’s red 5-star winery rating, awarded to only 8% of Australian wineries. We have also received nine ratings of 95 points or higher; a testament to our consistency in quality. We were also shortlisted for the 'Best Value Winery of the Year' with ten of our wines receiving a 'Special Value' status.
We were also included in The Real Review's 'Top Wineries Australia' and the internationally recognised, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate where we received four 90+ point ratings.

James Halliday, 2023 Wine Companion

A gloriously medium-bodied Shiraz as the Hunter knows how, it comes in at 12.8% yet holds its shape beautifully...
